Third time's the charm (!)

Hi folks. London/Kent-based newbie here.

Collecting my gen 2 factory lowered triple black XR this weekend, and very excited about it. Currently on a multistrada 1200 S but this will be my third XR.

First gen 1 leaked engine oil everywhere 20 miles from brand new and was eventually replaced under warranty. Second gen 1 got T-boned 200 miles from brand new, put back on the road, then was nicked.

So... Hoping this is third time lucky. Keep your fingers crossed!

Good Luck, hope you enjoy it and keep it longer than the previous two 👍

Hope everything goes better this time around. And welcome to the forum.

Thanks folks! I'll post a pic once the bike's landed. (Slightly contentious, it's got the lacquered-in red rim tape option so looks a bit bling).

Please do post some pics.  I just ordered the same bike for a dealer but I havent seen one in person yet.  I have seen the Gen 1 version and the GS version in the dealer.
